Salt in the Garden.

Thirty years successful use of salt upon
all kinds of crops has proved its value to
me, says an English writer. 1t should
not be used on cold, heavy or moist soils,
and, if anyone does, he will be disap-
pointed in the result, as its tendency is
to keep the ground cool and moist.
1t will do such soil more harm
than good. 1t should not be cast upon
very young and tender plants of any
kind, as it will be very sure to kill them.
Judgment should be employed in using so
strong an agent. l had a friend who
heard me recommend salt on onion beds,
when l strictly urged that it should be
dragged or worked in before the seed was
sown; but, forgetting what said, he did
not salt until the onions were about two
inches high, and it killed them all but
sowing another crop properly it turned
out splendidly. Had he waited until the
tops were as big as q large pipe-stem he
might have covered the ground an inch
deep and his onions would have done
finely. Onions should be sown on the
same ground year after year, as they con-
tinue to improve. There are yards n
hundred years old, and their yield would
astonish the common grower. The tops
when cut off should be scattered over
the ground do not leave them in lumps),
as they make tho best food for the grow
ing onions, then sow salt, and then put
on a coat of manure. Salt is not much of
fertilizer in itself, though plants take it
up, as you can tell by tasting and bv the
stiffening and glazing of straw of a plant
grown IN salted ground. | think it acts
upon and assimilates the gross matter in
the soil, so as to make it available food.
1t should be in every garden.

A Fruit Pest Disappearing.

A few years ago California fruit grow
ers were terrorized by the ravages Of the
scale insect. Orchards were dug up and
the trees used for firewOod, because the
destruction caused by the scale pest
was so great that profitable crops could
not be grown. 1t is now a well-known
fact that the scale pest is rapidly dying
out, and is no longer regarded with ap-
prehension by orchardists. 1t is the
opinion of many that this pest has par
taken much of the nature of the vista
tion of the grasshopper or the grape
worm, and that it win, like others, dis
appear of its own accord. Nature will
provide her own remedy and protect her
self. The fruit crop in Central and
Washington Colonies is better than last
season or the year before, and this is ow.
ing to the fact that the trees are nearly
free from this pest. A little effort on the
part of orchardists now will have the eff
feet of Kidding Fresno orchard entirely
OF the presence of the scale. Fresno

Club Root in Cabbages,

Peter Henderson says in Garden and
Farm Topics: For the destruction of
the insect which causes the excrescence
known as ''club root" in cabbage. a
heavy dressing of lime in fall and spring
will check it to a great extent. In fact,
on lands adjacent TO the shores of New
York Bay, where the soil is mixed with
oyster shell, "club root" is rarely seen.
cabbage having been grown on some
fields successively for fifty years without
trace of it being seen, showing that
the insect that causes the "club root
cannot exist in contact with lime; for it
is found that on lands where there is no
oyster shell deposit, a quarter of mile
distant, cabbages cannot be grown two
years in succession on the same land, un.
less heavily dressed with lime, and even
